(1) Apparently originally produced for use in the diocese of Lincoln
the unusual sequence (‘Spirat odor renouatus’) in the Sanctoral for the translation of St Hugh of Lincoln is otherwise only known from a textually-close missal at the Spalding Gentlemen’s Society, Lincoln (M.J.II). (2) Chaunterell and Saunders families of Northamptonshire
in his will of 1509, a John Chaunterell of Westcheap, London leaves ‘my fayre mas booke written by hand’ to: (3) the church of St Giles, Northampton, in whose Lady Chapel are buried further members of the Chaunterell family, including William Chaunterell (d.c.1521). A 1525 inscription on f.84 – ‘ora tu pro me peccatore Wyllelmo aliquando existanti presbetero istius capelle anno domini millesimo quengentesimo vicesimo quinto’ – identifies an erstwhile presbyter of a chapel by the name of William, while the names of members of the extended Chaunterell and Saunders families have been added on f.80v in a fine 16th-century hand: ‘Roborte Chauntrell Margere Chauntrell Arture Chauntrell Marke Saunders Anne Saunders’).
